People running a business are paid money for losing money. When a business is doing well, it's stress-free work and we are celebrated. Many would happily run the business for little monetary compensation beyond the accolades. Alternatively, when a business is losing money, there's lots of pressures and frustrations which most people would find overwhelming. Those who brave through those difficult times are ultimately paid handsomely....

Our bodies are symmetrical, horizontally and vertically, Horizontally, the right and left sides are virtually identical, visually. Vertically, the tops and bottoms are identical, metaphysically. Atop are the hands and head. The hands connect us to the terrestrial, the head to the celestial. At bottom are the feet and and genitalia. They too connect us to the terrestrial and celestial, accordingly....

"I look in the mirror every morning and ask myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something." Every day is not a day in a life, but a life in a day. When every day is everyday, we have yet to awaken. Upon awakening, every day is our first day in life; every-thing is new and unique like never before as we are unfettered by thoughts from time passed or time future.  ...

Someone once asked: what happens to an enlightened person when they die? It's a curious question in that the person asking is clearly not enlightened; so why would they be asking a question which has no relevance to them! Maybe that's what unenlightened people do?

An enlightened person manifests in life as we all do, as a temporary physical human form. But the physical form of an enlightened person is not their identity. If it was, they clearly weren't enlightened and would surely die as do all forms....

If time and related changes are a real phenomena, then adjectives and nouns (the descriptions and identities of things) are unreal; but an instant frozen in time. Other than the most common verb (the "to be" group which is generally used to introduce an adjective or noun), verbs reflect the reality that all things are forever changing; as the actions verbs describe require the passage of time. We can describe ourselves and the universe variously with adjectives and nouns. But, our descriptions are illusionary, as not much can be said beyond "I am" and "it is,"...

The universe is one eternal thing, yet infinite in forms and finite; every thing. The universe cannot be described or given a name. as it's forever changing but always the same.   The universe is true, though its parts unreal. even when we are seeking a meal. The parts are created by our mind's eye when we see ourselves as a separate form until we die.   The universe is perfect and so are we when we realize the universe is who we be....
